High-strength aluminium countersunk screws for models

Hobbyists assembling or upgrading models can rely on the Arrowmax AM-14CS3016-G Aluminium Screw Allen Countersunk M3x16 Gray (7075) for a lightweight fastening option. The 7075 alloy provides a good combination of strength and low weight for competitive builds.

Material advantages for RC use

7075 aluminium is commonly used where structural strength is required without excess mass, so these screws are appropriate for applications where durability and lightness are both priorities.

Best fitment scenarios

The countersunk M3x16 profile is ideal for mounting panels and bodywork where a flush surface is important to avoid aerodynamic disruption or interference with moving parts.

Installation notes

Match the countersink angle and hole size for a neat seat and avoid over-tightening to protect aluminium threads. These screws suit standard M3 threads and can be used across many RC assemblies.

Yes, but using a shoulder or washer between the aluminium head and carbon fibre can help distribute load and prevent surface damage.
Use correct torque, avoid cross-threading, and consider helicoil inserts for frequently serviced joints to prolong thread life.
They will fasten into tapped aluminium or into nuts on metal chassis, but monitor for galvanic issues if mixing metals in corrosive conditions.
A small metric Allen key sized for M3 screws will fit; use the correct key to prevent rounding the hex recess when tightening.
They can be used where load is moderate, but for pivot points and heavily loaded joints consider hardened steel hardware instead to reduce wear.
